Was it All an Accident? (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction, Book Three)

Part Thirty-Eight: The Time Had Finally Come.

(Harry’s POV)

Not even two weeks later, I stood in my black tuxedo, checking my tie in the mirror. Well, it was her mirror, really. I smiled to myself as I checked it again. Breathing out, I knew I’d never get used to this. She was always going to be there. No matter what I did, she would always be there, in the front of my mind. I don’t think I could do anything to get her out of my head. And I’m absolutely positive that I don’t want to.

            “Are you ready?” Niall asked, walking into my bedroom. Well, for now at least. I’d planned on moving out soon. Most likely towards the end of this week. I’ve overcome my stay here. The rest of the lads were behind him, all dressed in black tuxes as well. Emily stood beside Niall, I hadn’t noticed her the first time I looked up at Niall. She was smiling at me, but it was more forced than genuine. After this whole thing with Whytnie…Well, I don’t know if things will ever be the same again. She’s scared, I get that.

            “You look handsome,” she reassured as she put her arm around Niall’s waist. He smiled down at her before looking back at me.

            This was it, I guess. The day had come. I couldn’t tell if I was going to throw up again or if I was just going to remain nauseous for a few more moments.

            Niall cleared his throat and I swallowed down my fears. It was just another day. Nothing to freak you out or anything. Just another day.

            Just another day.

            I don’t think I could ever get used to this, really. With the past three years I’ve had, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this.

            “Mate?” Niall asked quietly, taking a step towards me.

            Not yet! I wanted to scream at him. I wasn’t ready yet. My stomach started twisting as I held onto the bathroom counter before I could fall over. My breathing started to become ragged and uneven as Niall placed his hand on my shoulder.

            “Everything’s going to be okay,” he reassured and I saw him smile through her mirror. He said more words, but my world was starting to spin. Yep, I definitely believe I’m going to be sick.

            After all this time, I was finally going to be okay. Everything was truly going to be okay. This was it. I had to get it together.

            “Harry?” Emily’s voice broke through the fog and I sighed.

            “Give me another minute, please?” They both nodded in my direction and turned to leave. They shut my bedroom door behind them and I took another couple of deep breaths trying to calm my racing heart.

            The time had finally come.

            It was time to say goodbye to my old life. This was it. It felt like I was barely starting my life over right now. This was a brand new beginning. One I was looking forward to.

            The time had finally come.

            The rumors were mostly true about me now, but I stopped listening to them since Whytnie. But now, I can’t help but take out my phone to check what the latest updates about me were.

            Harry Styles, who had left One Direction because his girlfriend was dying, is rumored to be rejoining the boys in their new upcoming album. They’re also rumored to be doing a world tour now that they’re all back together, as well.

            Have you heard the latest? Harry Styles has been rumored to be back in One Direction, even though the boys are still pretty upset that he left the first time. Hmm, should he be forgiven?

            Harry Styles is moving on, right back into his boy band One Direction, or so the rumors go. Can anyone believe the truth in this?

            What does everyone think about Harry Styles returning back to London and rejoining the boys in their new album? Anyone else glad he’s back?

            After all that’s happened, Harry Styles has decided to move forward with his life and has been rumored to be back in One Direction’s new album. If this is true, we just can’t wait to hear what the lads have in store for us.

            Here’s to beginning my new life. The time has come.

            And all of a sudden, I think: was it all an accident? Was I meant to meet Whytnie? Was she supposed to change my life? Make me want her more than ever? Was this all supposed to happen? And in that moment I knew. I knew that Whytnie was meant to corrupt my life the way she had, and I didn’t regret one moment of our life together.

            I feel like a completely different person.

            And I’m ready to start my life now. I can breathe in and out easier now. My smile is genuine and I finally feel at peace. This is where I was meant to be. This is who I was meant to be. And now I can go on.

            I’ve learned a lot and I’m continuing to learn. I look forward to the days to come, and the new memories I’ll make. And I know she’ll always be there.

            Here comes my “happily ever after”. Smiling to myself, I’m ready to face whatever life has in store for me. With her strength in me, I know I’m ready to take on whatever difficulties or hardships life puts in front of me.
